    I must be a terrible and uncaring person because my immediate thought is “why does that ambulance have a QR code on it?”

      Being unhinged and easily distracted isn’t equivalent to that.

      Could asked nicelier. 🙃

      Ai says “QR codes placed on ambulances (especially in Germany by organizations like Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe) are used in an anti-gawking campaign to deter bystanders from illegally filming accident scenes with their smartphones.”

      And

      “QR codes are used on ambulances and in emergency transport initiatives in Nigeria to instantly verify vehicle legitimacy, access real-time first aid guides, and connect citizens to nearby accredited medical services.”

        No one wants to know what an ai slopped out. Keep that shit to yourself.

          By making filming annoying. Modern phones evaluate the code and give the option to follow the link with an info brochure

            Now I understand why my GrapheneOS camera app makes me switch to a dedicated mode to scan QR codes.

              Ok, but maybe you shouldn’t optimize for recording injured, dying and dead people.

              It’s literally just a little bubble you click on with the link that would them open in a browser.

                It’s optimizing for not letting any random QR code hijack the camera and web browser, whether it was on an ambulance or not.
